Sweet Potato Brownies


large sweet potato

1/3 cup hot coffee ( can change to just hot water if you don't like coffee)
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter, melted
eggs
1/2 cup Coconut Sugar sugar ( I used just over 1/4 cup ..you can use more or less depending on how you like the sweetness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour ( I used spelt)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon pink salt ( or regular salt)



  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Peel, chop and place in small pan with a little water cover & steam until soft, then blend or mash. measure out 1 cup & set aside.
  • Place the mini chocolate chips in a bowl, Pour the hot coffee over the chocolate chips and stir to melt the chocolate. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the 1 cup of sweet potato, melted butter, eggs, sugar and vanilla. Stir to combine. Then add the chocolate-coffee mixture to the sweet potato mixture and stir to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the sweet potato mixture and stir just to combine.
  • Using a mini cupcake tin, fill the cups 3/4 of the way with brownie mixture. Place in the oven to bake for 8-12 minutes. ( whenever they are firmish to touch)
I added walnuts, choc chips & smarties to decorate
